Guest SA Intruder Posted October 5, 2003 Report Posted October 5, 2003 What's the 12V system got to do with it? The aircon loads the engine via the drive belt. There is a 2A load for the compressor clutch, that's all. The aircon consumes about 3-5 bhp. So leaving it on is STUPID. However, using it regularly to maintain the system integrity is NOT STUPID.

Guest JIMSTDI Posted October 5, 2003 Report Posted October 5, 2003 i was just talking about the 12 volt systems cars run on unless sa uve gone one better and had 24volt system put in :lol: whos got in your trailer Quote
Guest SA Intruder Posted October 5, 2003 Report Posted October 5, 2003 You inferred the aircon ran off 12V. It doesn't. It wastes energy directly taken from the crank. So now you know. Quote
Guest JIMSTDI Posted October 5, 2003 Report Posted October 5, 2003 think u find everything runs off the 12v system take the battery off ,,see what happens :lol: Quote
Guest SA Intruder Posted October 5, 2003 Report Posted October 5, 2003 You need to look for something on EBay..... Quote
Guest SA Intruder Posted October 5, 2003 Report Posted October 5, 2003 Try answering informatively. Then the Forum becomes useful. Not just to get your post numbers up. Quote

Dave-G Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 I dint see any clue as to the age of your gal, I had a seat allhambra(90bhp)which had better trim levels than the other variants in the "old" model. My 2000x gal seems a much better ride, I'm told the whole chassis and suspension have been re-engineered in the post 2k model.If i went up a kerb ramp in my old model the doors seemed to flex in the rubbers..not so with my new babe! I think the larger wheels coupled with lower profile tyres also assist the improved handling. Yes there are minor niggles with this car, eg; a large turning circle springs to mind,but "horses for courses"? it's a brilliant tool,see how many taxi drivers use them..If it dont stand the pace it would not be used in that industry. I love it to bits,and my mate just bought one...sez it's the best thing since sliced bread Quote
